Glad to hear that you are loving Led Zeppelin IV, it's only the tip of the ice berg. Forget greatest hits albums and get started buying the rest of the albums.

Mothership vinyl isn't even released yet. But it will be nice to have. BTW, I was in Chicago visiting last week. I love that town. Also, Led Zep is just the tip of the ice berg in Great Britain talent from that era.

Hopefully you had some Chicago style deep dish pizza while you were here. If not next time you are in town try pizza from Lou Malnati's or Giordano's. I'm as enthusiastic about Chicago style deep dish pizza as DUP is about his Legacy speakers, also from Illinois.

House of Blues Chicago is also GRRRRRREAT. Matt Oree won the 2006 guitarmageddon there.......beating 4000 others in a national contest. House of blues Chicago had teh best live sound I heard....then a few months later in a pro audio magazine, sho' nuff', there was an article of the awards the guy who does the sound for the place and some other places. My ears know what they hear.I like Chicago, it doesn't smell like NYC always does. The weather was perfect the day I was there, clean place. Go to House of Blues Chicago. Buddy guy also has a place there, I missed that place, he is moving to another site

Im scared

I actually agree with DUP !!!

The House of Blues does have a fantastic sound system, listening to Depp Purple play Space Truckin there last year was the most incredible single live song ive ever heard

Absolutely gut bustingly funny.

Oh yes, must got to 'Dick's Last Resort, the shame of Chicago',(you can't kill a man born to hang). Good eats. Don't forget to buy the t-shirt with all the animals on it screaming 'eat me!'

We never got to the House of Blues even though we were staying at the Omni. We did go by the Hard Rock and saw some pretty cool stuff on the walls. That is almost like going to the House. I think. Anyway, if you've never been to a big city and you have a chance to go I recommend Chicago. Everything is right there. You can take the Chicago Transit Authority just about anywhere next to nothing. The food is the best. The service is the best. The people are fantastic. It is like the San Antonio River Walk on steroids. Unbelievable place to visit. Also, this place stood out like a sore thumb sitting right in the middle of luxury hotels with the Trump tower towering in the back. The Tokyo Hotel

Iggy is a character of the highest level. There are more Iggy stories than can fill the average book. If you ever come across it in a used record store (it's not worth the $20 it costs new on CD, though it's a decent recording and one of the top two or three Stooges gigs that were recorded), pick up the Iggy and the Stooges demi-bootleg* Metallic KO. A board tape of their last gig before breaking up (for the second time) in 1974. Iggy had been involved in a sort of a feud with a biker gang, which had resulted in him getting stomped and sent to the hospital in their next-to-last gig. Apparently the biker gang showed up in force to what turned out to be the Metallic KO gig. You can literally hear beer bottles breaking against guitars and amps and shouts as the band is hit by bottles, lit cigarettes, and just about everything else not nailed down. (If your system is high-end, you can probably identify the brand of beer by the way the bottle sounds as it hits Iggy) The Stooges closed that night with what may possibly be the most obscene version of Louie Louie ever recorded. Totally un-PC in so many different ways that it's hard to calculate, guaranteed to offend every ethnic group and sexual orientation. Highly recommended. Rock and Roll of the highest order.

*The gig was recorded and released by a member of the band, and no-one has ever tried to stop its sale, so don't feel guilty about buying it. The only people who got ripped off by its production were Columbia records.
